Phil Steele's College Football 2024

Hard to say. But I'm sure it will continue to drive down the already declining interest/attendance across the country.

Probably true, but only because it creates the perception that something has changed, when nothing has changed at all.

More movement yes.

But nothing will change in the overall level of talent.

Some of the biggest buyers will have trouble making things mesh.

One fall practice will not give new combo teams time to gel.

I wonder how long the current trend of NIL deals will last. Companies are investing in players, only to see them leave for another payday the next year. How sustainable is it for businesses to keep investing in athletes who may only represent their brand for a single season? At what point will these companies tire of the fleeting nature of such investments and seek more stable, long-term opportunities?

Businesses, yes, I can see them tiring of not getting a long enough return, if any before stopping. Alum with F-you money will keep the NIL floating. And there's a lot of folks with that kind of money.

Like I've said before, in the very, very near future, schools will not win championships, they will buy championships! It is almost there already.

You think they didnt already? Thats cute.

But what happens when its time for a new library or science lab?

[DannyP]

That is the case already

And what is the actual return?
Gotta be (-)
But I’m sure egos are STROKED!

The big schools have alum with F-you money for non-athletic needs.

the school the NIL donor supports gets or keeps a good player

the notoriety associated with the community, fans, students and other supporters of the school see should persuade each of them to do business with the NIL donor

But "collectives" and individuals may not have a business product/service to conduct

But "collectives" and individuals may not have a business product/service to conduct

so then their only return is to get or keep a good player for their university
